Judge Rips DOJ for Blocking Testimony of Lawyers Who Allowed Hunter Biden Charges to Lapse; Points Out They're Jailing Peter Navarro for Defying a Subpoena While Doing the Same

"Are you kidding me?"
Those are four words that no lawyer wants to hear from a judge in a hearing. But that was not the least of it for Justice Department lawyers fighting House subpoenas into the Biden corruption scandal.
US District Judge Ana Reyes slammed the DOJ for stonewalling Congress on the subpoenas while imprisoning figures like former Trump adviser Peter Navarro for doing the same thing.
The Biden administration has blocked the testimony of prosecutors Mark Daly and Jack Morgan, who were involved in an inexplicable decision of the Justice Department to allow major felonies against Hunter Biden to lapse.
In prior hearings, IRS whistleblowers testified that they had an agreement on the table to extend the statute of limitations on the crimes, but special counsel David Weiss allowed the period to lapse without any explanation. Since the DOJ was in the midst of plea negotiations, it made no sense that the DOJ would simply kill potential charges.

It makes perfect sense when you realize these are corrupt will-to-power fascists who will break every rule and violate every trust to advance the communist cause.

The House Impeachment Committee subpoenaed these men because the whistleblowers directly implicated them in arranging for the charges against Hunter Biden to lapse without action.

...
Reyes noted the obvious: "There's a person in jail right now because you all brought a criminal lawsuit against him because he did not appear for a House subpoena." The DOJ demanded six months in prison. Navarro is serving a four-month sentence.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon also received a four-month sentence.
Reyes noted, "I think it's quite rich you guys pursue criminal investigations and put people in jail for not showing up ... And now you guys are flouting those subpoenas. ... And you don't have to show up?"

Reyes noted that the DOJ lawyers were "making a bunch of arguments that you would never accept from any other litigant ... I imagine that there are hundreds, if not thousands of defense attorneys ... who would be happy to hear that DOJ's position is, if you don't agree with a subpoena, if you believe it's unconstitutional or unlawful, you can unilaterally not show up."
The Justice Department insisted that it is different when its own prosecutors refuse to testify and noted that the House had also refused a demand to have other Justice Department lawyers present for the depositions. They then stressed that the decision to defy the subpoena came after lengthy deliberations "at a high level."

Reyes then asked if the DOJ would drop its opposition if it were allowed to have DOJ lawyers in the room for the questioning. When the lawyers said they could not answer that question at this time, Reyes exclaimed, "Are you kidding me?"

Quite noticeable here now, a little bite out of Sol (Simpsonville, SC area).

I had to turn the sensitivity up on my auto-darkening welding lens. There's a thin layer of clouds, and that was enough to keep it from tripping at the default setting.

Those in the path of totality, when it hits full, you'll be able to see the planets line up across the ecliptic.

Jupiter will be the upper left of the sun, followed by mercury, although it's back is nearly turned and it will be quite dim. To the lower right, you'll see Venus very bright, then Saturn and Mars.

You won't miss Venus, it will be so bright.

124 Time to haul out the old John Randolph qoute. Randolph was a Congressman from Virginia. He said of an opponent,
"He [Edward Livingston] is a man of splendid abilities but utterly corrupt. He shines and stinks like rotten mackerel by moonlight".

Could you apply that to Merrick Garland (and most of the DOJ)? Not so much. Garland is corrupt, but he lacks splendid abilities. He does shine and stink though.

I think Garland made a political calculation. Rather than reveal the true extent of corruption--deliberately letting the statute of limitations run on the felony tax evasion charges of the President's son---and having the lawyers who made that decision have to fess up in front of Congress, he's going to try to bury that stinking mackerel by refusing to let the lawyers appear. He'll take a small hit, rather than accept the bigger hit of letting the truth get out.

Any seizure of property without court authority is common theft under NYS statutes. She'd go to jail if convicted.

Even through medium/heavy cloud cover, the view was surprisingly good. Not in the path of Totality, here. But, it obscured about 97% of the disc of the Sun.

A sight to behold. And feel, too. Weather station showed about a 5 degree drop in the exterior temperature.

Oh, and Sunny or whatever that hag's name is? The end of the eclipse WILL cause (localized) Warming. How cool is that? (asked to watch her head, bubble, boil and explode)

195 @ABC host @Sunny Hostin claims Monday's solar eclipse and last week's earthquake were caused by ‘climate change

Is it weird that Whoopi was the one trying to talk sense about the cicadas and the eclipse? Her theology is nonsense of course but at least she was trying to be rational about the physical stuff.

that have been mainly out of reach for Black

Continuing a discussion from the last thread about revisions to the monthly employment reports:

The monthly revisions occur for the same reason people file their income tax returns late. Every month, many employers send their employment reports in late.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics goes back every month & adds in these late-submitted reports. Hence the monthly revisions.

If the numbers were hinky, don't you think Ted Cruz or the House Freedom Caucus (or SOMEBODY on the right) would scream bloody murder about it?
